MILITARY STYLE BONDAGE |

Military-style bondage draws from the traditions of the samurai, the cavalry, the native Americans, special forces, and even various fictional sources to explore the fun of role-play in a Military style. Explore not only the physical forms of restraint and the reasoning behind them (including how to modify them for the safety and comfort of your “prisoner”) but also the psychological aspects of military discipline, interrogation techniques, and especially the methods of securing and manipulating the male body.

ABOUT GRAYDANCER |

Graydancer, Ninja Sex Poodle & Ronin of Love, comes from the venerable rope bondage tradition of Madison, WI, where he honed his craft to become the world premiere podcaster of rope bondage with “the Ropecast”. He has presented and performed at venues across North America and is the creator of the GRUE (Graydancer’s Ropetastic Unconference Extravaganza), a grass-roots kink event held in various cities. His writing has also been published in Secret, Power Exchange Magazine, and several anthologies published by the Ravenous Romance imprint. He is also the author of three self-published novels of erotic magic, Nawashi, Jujun, and the forthcoming Kumir, available in both print, audio, and e-book formats. Currently Graydancer plies his trade as an itinerant rope top, burlesque performer and kink educator, smiting the evil of sloppy ends wherever they may lie.

Off Limits for 30 Days – “You don’t listen very well,” I heard her hiss. “That’s off limits, damn you.” And there was a crack and fiery agony clawed into my back.

The Joy of Sucking Cock – I wonder at times if that is why I am such a “good little cocksucker” as W calls me. When I am deeply into it, I almost enter this place where I am both the sucker and suckee, and it is as though it is MY cock being sucked on.

This intensity gets me riled when I am tied up (photo story) – James picked up that evil strap again. I watched helplessly as he positioned himself to use it on my pussy… Ever so lightly he started. Flick, flick, flick.

Ask Lilly: How do I know if a sex toy has phthalates in it? – The studies going around are saying that phthalate exposure can damage all sorts of organs, and can possibly cause cancer. There are a lot of harmful things in our world these days that we can’t avoid – so when we CAN avoid something like toxins in our sex toys, we should.

~ Featured Post (Lilly’s Pick) ~

Portal. Confession #493 – It truly is a spiritual give and take, these sexual relationships I form. I can cross the threshold and see however much of someone that I choose to see, with whomever it is that I am involved with.

All blogs that have a submission in this edition must re-post this digest from tip-to-toe on their blogs within 7 days. Re-posting the photo is optional and the use of the “read more…” tag is allowable after this point. Thank you, and enjoy!

“Parents in Montana are upset about a proposed sex-education program that would be going a lot further than just teaching the birds and the bees…”

I thought to myself: how interesting. They’ve proven the need for better sex ed in their opening statement.

What are the birds and the bees, exactly? The way it’s phrased in the sentence, it’s talking as if it’s a commonly agreed-upon statement, like saying “the sky” or “that car.” But I bet if you put any ten adults in a room and asked them to write down on a page what constituted “the birds and the bees” – and, I might add, just the birds and the bees – you’d end up with some wildly divergent curricula.

What are the basics, these days? Do they include proper terminology? Mechanics? How about emotional context? What is the right age to talk about it?

Seems to me that “birds and the bees” is a phrase that has outlived its usefulness. What do you think?

The Graydancer Guarantee is more about integrity. I believe in what I teach, and what I do. If you hear me say something, you can be sure that to the best of my knowledge it is given with full confidence that it is true. Furthermore, if I later find out that I was wrong, I’ll own up to it and do my best to correct any previous misinformation. I’ve done this for things as esoteric as the Myth of Herpes & Cell Popping and as vital as removing a friend’s image and voice from my podcast feed because she was concerned with privacy issues.

Refunds

Nope. Sorry. I accept donations, gladly, but I’m afraid that if you donate, I won’t give it back. In fact, I may be using it to buy an ice cream sundae with hot fudge, or a Cohiba, or just to see the newest Jet Li flick. It’s more likely that I’ll use it to pay for server rental for the Ropecast, or for the costs of maintaining this blog, but if you donate, be aware you are donating to support me and my work – and I’m the one who determines how that monetary energy can best be dispursed.

You will, however, have my undying gratitude and the gratitude of other listeners and readers for helping me continue to do the work.

Puck Seeks Oberon: A Personal Advertisement

Merry wanderer of the night seeks to serve Fairy King.

I am offering to be your messenger, your subject, your servant, your
mad spirit, your beast, your gentle Puck.

I offer to do your bidding and sing your praises. To play a part in
your powerful machinations. To jest and to make you smile. To mix your
potions and fetch you flowers. To hunt your mortal prey for you. To go
swifter than the wind. To spill fresh blood dear. To be enthralled by
you and become enchanted through you.

I’ll follow you, I’ll lead you about a round,
Through bog, through bush, through brake, through brier:
Sometime a horse I’ll be, sometime a hound,
A hog, a headless bear, sometime a fire;
And neigh, and bark, and grunt, and roar, and burn,
Like horse, hound, hog, bear, fire, at every turn.

Let’s rain monstrous pleasures down on this haunted grove.

Oh, my, indeed. Methinks Vague may have a competitor in the realm of ropey prose. Send in your entries to win the final $50 gift certificate to be awarded at the upcoming Detroit GRUE.Poetry, prose, or pics of pretties, the idea is to be CREATIVE!

"The sub is the cream to the rope: a smooth softness to balance the bite."

Next, a beautiful piece of poetry (would love to hear any spoken renditions of this for the podcast, hint, hint, 608-432-KNOT, hint…)

cream

a trickle

a warm thing

a taste under the tongue

that leaves me

wanting

a tickle

a pressing

a wrap around the ribs

that makes me

beg

makes me bend

like a reed

like a ragdoll

taking pleasure in being pressed

my mouth opening of its own accord

firm fingers

a taste a taste

something in me undressing

revealing myself

exposure for reward

tit for tat

bound limb to limb and word to word and

hung up on this moment just wanting

a taste

mouth open

tongue wet

and a sensation that started

somewhere beneath my belly

a warmth

rising to the top

skimmed from the surface

by your hands

quick

neat

and pulled ever so tight.

-attrition

How about a blast from the past? A couple of very old friends of mine (in fact, if you go back and look at GloRoMo, you’ll see this saucy redhead there, as well) who happen to be gourmets “whipped” up these CREAM entries:

And finally, what popped into my mailbox this morning but an Unsolicited Boobie…bound & topped with CREAM! Thank go to “Bondage” for this happy picture:

Bound Boobie Brulée?

Keep those cards & letters comin’, folks – I will put them up as fast as I can manage! Every one gets you entered into the Twisted Monk/Ropecast giveaway, where a $50 Gift Certificate will be ALL YOURS!

]]> http://www.graydancer.com/even-more-cream/feed/ 1 http://www.graydancer.com/cream-entry-2-from-lee-harrington/ http://www.graydancer.com/cream-entry-2-from-lee-harrington/#comments Tue, 18 May 2010 11:37:26 +0000 admin http://www.graydancer.com/?p=738 My wonderful brother Lee Harrington produced this AudioBoo as an entry in the CREAM theme for the Twisted Monk/Ropecast Giveaway.

Note: listening may cause spontaneous masturbation. Have your bunk handy.

See, the Ropecast has a very noble history – it is, to the best of my knowledge and research, the longest-running still extant kink-oriented podcast. There were kinky podcasts before it, sure – The Sex Geeks, for example, or Violet Blue. But the Sex Geeks faded into the aether, and Violet does a lot of things, all of which are fantastic, but her podcast hasn’t updated since December 2009.

So I take my credit where I can – (cue Morpheus roaring at the sexy crowds of Zion “WE ARE STILL HERE!!”) and for the most part, it’s cool…except for this one thing.

Yeah, I’ve been the longest-running. But I haven’t had the most episodes. There’s this little upstart podcast, for example, called “Polyamory Weekly” that has put out 237 podcasts. I’m close to that – just put out episode 208 – but that Cunning Minx has a work ethic the size of my – well, anyway, it’s big. And she keeps putting out the weekly podcasts.

Now, I could take the easy way out. I could count the podcasts that put out my first two books, Nawashi & Jujun. I could count the video files I’ve already produced (which would bring me up to about 215). I could decide to just start podiobooking my new book, Kumir, and count those.

But that would be cheating.

So instead, I’m making a public commitment that I am going to catch up with and surpass the episode count of Polyweekly. I’m going to do this by first not falling further behind; a podcast every week. That’s right, I’m not changing the name, but Ropecast is now a weekly podcast – for as long as I can keep it up, but  definitely to the point where I have released the podcast that is one past whatever the Minx just released.

Secondly, format: in looking at stats, I discovered a few things. For one, almost 25% of my audience is in Texas! And about 2% are from China! These are things that really you have to be a social media stats nerd to appreciate, but it does mean I need to learn the Chinese word for “sukebe” and also need to give a big shout-out to my listeners in San Antonio…

It also showed me that y’all like video. A LOT. In fact, the top media downloads for my podcast are the videos – not just the hot women tying each other up, but also the instructional stuff. So…in addition to the weekly audio cast, I’ll be putting up a video cast (and yes, that counts!) for your viewing pleasure.

If I were mathematically inclined, I’d just put it as a story problem:

A has 208 podcasts. B has 232 podcasts. If B produces 1/wk, and A starts producing 2/wk, how many weeks before A catches up to B?

As it is, I just put it up on Twitter for minds smarter than mine.

But in the spirit of “If you make a goal, make it public!” I’m letting you all put the pressure on me. And, of course, I’m asking for your help:

• Send me ideas and content! Rope erotica, pictures, questions, stories, boobies, cbt, neat rope samples, DVDs, whatever. I’ve done pretty well coming up with things to blather on about already, but if you want something specific, let me know!
• Support my sponsors so they support me. The Ropecast’s main sponsor is Twisted Monk; you should frequent his site and his blog for more than just supporting me. But other individual show sponsors have also helped, and if you happen to go to their sites, please let them know you listen to the Ropecast:
  • KinkyRopes.com
  • MauiKink.com
  • Midori’s Ropedojo
  • St. Louis GRUE
• Or, you could become a sponsor yourself – or use one of the “donate” buttons at the right to either subscribe to “Graydancer’s Monthly Cuppa” (roughly the cost of a cup of coffee per month) or a one-time $10 donation.
• Aside from that, just a general “atta boy!” or random picture of hot roped bodies or comment to the Ropecast Hotline (608-432-KNOT) are always welcome.

My Twitter Friend GryphonSpeaks says it will take 8 weeks to become the longest-running and most-prolific kinky podcast on the web…so here we go!

You also can put in your last-minute entries for the $50 gift certificate I’ll be giving away tomorrow at the Pancake Brunch…listen to the Ropecast to find out if you won!

And a correction to an earlier post…apparently Fenway is in Boston. Something this ignorant-of-baseball rigger failed to note. Sorry!
